About the book: 2023 / Panov's Strobe is a device that allows you to open portals between parallel dimensions. The inventor died under mysterious circumstances, but the ambitious and unprincipled project leader, Sylvester, is looking for new possibilities for using the device. He does not disdain anything, experiments on people, robs neighboring worlds, kidnaps people. He doesn’t care that the result of the experiment could be the death of the entire Universe. Only Gypsy, his former ally, and Ivan, an aristocrat from a backward world located in a conjugate dimension, can resist him. Ivan avoided dangers, noticing them a second before the explosion, before the shot, before the attack, but could not save his heart from love for a woman, alien and foreign, from another world.
